Halacha is Jewish law first committed to paper
by the famous and great Rabbi Moshe ben Maimon from Spain. "RAMBAM" as
he is known was born in Cordova, Spain. Just after his Bar-Mitzvah (13th
Birthday), a fanatical Moslem sect, the Almohads, took over Cordova.
The Maimon family was eventually forced to flee Cordova. They wandered
through Spain for some time, but eventually moved to Fez, Morocco in 1160,
when the Rambam was 25. Though Fez, at the time, was also ruled by
the Almohad, it was somewhat more tolerant; however, five years later,
Rambam's teacher, Rabbi Judah ha-Kohen, was put to death for being a Jew.
The family went to Israel for a brief time, and then moved to Fostat,
Egypt, where the Rambam lived for the rest of his life.

He wrote a set of books starting with "Sefer Hamitzvot
" a book of our 613 mitzvot and how it was passed on from Moshe to Yehoshua
in over 5700 years. We have not veered from those exact words since. RAMBAM's
other sefarim are the first set of practical laws written down under subject
headings.

Many years later, Rabbi Yosef Caro another Spanish Jew wrote down in an
even more practical format all the halachot in 6 volumes by which every
Jew should conduct himself on a daily basis. These volumes also include
all Halacha as it applies to the community, for Holidays, and Fast days.

Generally speaking Maltese Jews follow Rav Yosf
Cairo's "Orach Hachaim" and use the annotations from any one of the Sephardic
Poskim.

Birchat Cohanim is done every week (and in some
communities every day). This is not like the Ashkenazi communities who
have it done only on high holidays.

Laws of Reading from the Torah Scrolls

Many sephardic scroll cases are hard shelled
circular (in gold or silver) encasings that allow for the Torah to stand
on the Bimah.

Washing hands

As in the language of Rav Yosef Caro we hold

the Satan with a wash of our hands up until the first phalanges of our
fingers after the meal, and dispose of the water away from the table.
